Ouch David... Bad news, you are in bad shape there! Might be slacking from Lambretta works...The truth comes out! How are you anyway feller? Longtime no hear? Which one of your gargantuan projects are you on now? Since I have been banned from "THE FORUM" I am so out of tune.

not sure,but could be 28.25 deck height,would use it with a vespa ape rod 110mm,dont west coast lambretta use them in their anillhator kit.not bad price,but you could end up with import duty and vat to pay if you get it from the states.

never thought of looking on amazon,i think he charges $28.99 for shipping to europe,anyone know the crack with import duty and vat,or is it just pot luck if you get charged.
i will probaly go with the 70mm suzuki ts 250 piston,which i already have,but mbdevelepments advised me they are not the best piston to be putting reed valve windows in,as i am going to use one of their reed valves.
will still have the option of using the kh piston at a later stage,i think the ring pegs are ok in cast barrels but not ts 225's.cheers all.

Tav if you wanna go Wossner H2 route I'm in...just need another buyer then! U.S dealers seem to like selling the full triple kit. Would work out reasonable between 3. Can you use an RD400 rod then? Gonna shelve the APE rod for now anyway and maybe sell TS250 piston. If you want an Asso TS1 piston to use with that reed manifold I've got one. Do you still want that layshaft dropping off?
